NYC BENEFIT RESCHEDULED: We're Taking Coronavirus Seriously

This year marks the 15th anniversary of Food & Water Watch educating people on the most pressing food, water, and climate problems of our time, and mobilizing the public to build the power to enact bold solutions.

We all need safe food and clean water.

Food & Water Watch is postponing our 15th Anniversary Benefit originally scheduled for Tuesday, March 24, 2020 in New York City.

It will now be on Tuesday, Sept. 29, 2020. This is a difficult decision, but we think it’s the right thing to do.

Like you, we’ve been monitoring the spread of the coronavirus, or COVID-19. With a growing number of cases in New York and around the country, we need to make sure that everyone who’s planning to attend our Benefit is safe. The most responsible course of action is to postpone the event.

The Benefit celebrating the 15 years of progress we’ve made together has gotten tremendous support and interest; tickets are nearly sold out! So, while this decision is disappointing, we want you to know how grateful we are for all our member’s generosity and for your understanding. We look forward to seeing all of you happy and healthy in September!

We want to personally thank everyone for your generous support. You are a true climate champion—thank you!
